How on earth does a coal dealer think the ash content can change by being exposed to the atmosphere ? Yes the outside of the coal can change by being exposed to the elements but how can the core just all of a sudden change ? I am not a geologist but if I am wrong I know some really experienced folks at the the university to ask. Let me know.

I'm a Blaschak dealer (FWIW here) and there is nothing wrong with last years coal. Like others have said, it's a few million years old...another year or two isn't going to hurt it. The mention of the bags deteriorating can happen, so handle with care until you see how it's been stored. Good luck!
